For fucks sake

I am listening to 'call you and yours' on Radio 4. There is someone on there whinging about how she went to Lapland and got caught up in the all the snow disruption! I give up.

Just say what you call her and hers and get it over with.

Ha. I got caught in norway. Gatwick closed and the power at the airport we were leaving from went out. I thought it was die hard 2.

I got stuck at Gatwick last night doing a pickup. Flight landed at 10.30pm. Bags appeared at 3.30am.

You know what even annoying?

people acting like the government control the weather.

"The traffic was terrible! and why does it have to snow? couldn't they just keep it away till I finish my unnecessary christmas shopping that get me overdraft? BROKEN BRITAIN!"

The collection point was a mess. Saw lots of people just sitting around the walls looking pretty down. Carry on only ftw.

that's not entirely true.
it snows harder in a lot of countries, and people are shat off that an hour's snow causes the whole country to go into a crisis. it happens every year - they need to learn to deal with it

Did you spot my daughter? She was the one texting continuously for nearly 5 hours. I was sat outside drinking coffee and replying to text messages.

I stacked it three times walking home last night as a commute/xmasshoppingenger, thats what i get for living up a hill i guess. Give me snow ice and slush over boring wind and rain anyday!

Oh and FYI, if anyone does decide to shovel outside their house, it might be an idea to salt the pavement afterwards.

That's the problem - it does snow more in other countries so they have little choice in the matter other than to deal with it. It snows so infrequently here the investment in equipment to deal with it effectively would likely be unjustifiable.

fair point.

Based on the times, I would have walked by both of you. Was out probably around 1130.

We just like to complain.

Last week I had to deal with complaints from all my colleagues as the temperature in the office was around 19 degrees "It is unacceptable that they expect us to work in these conditions!!", they cried.

I lost it a bit, but they don't complain anymore.

I complained about them complaining for about two days though.

Defintely, I remember in January (or was it Feb?) when it snowed quite heavily, people were complaining that the government are useless to sort out the problem, complaining that they hasn't got snowplough or anything.

it snow so infrequently (as you said), there's no fucking need for a snowplough!

^see what I mean about complaining about people who complain....

yup, they're always fncking moaning

"fuck sakes"

Who are they?

The English

I'm sorry VeeVee, and it truly pains me to say it, but you'll never be English.

I know it may feel terrible now, and to be fair it always will, but someday you may come to terms with the fact that the moment you were born you lost.

that's not entirely true.

In that case the government/corporations shouldn't moan, that after every half inch of snow that falls, it costs the economy billions of pounds.
Snowploughs surely can't be that expensive.

Even if my Dad was born in Crewe?

That's not England- that's the Midlands.

that's not the midlands. that's somewhere else. i'm not having that.

is it really worth spending money on a snowploughs that'll be redundant for 51 weeks in a year?

people will complain about the government unnecessarily spending money on snow equipment, and they'll complain about them not buying them when it snow.

it's a catch 22.
